Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze Whaler sharks, Short-tail stingrays, Humpback dolphins, Cape fur seal + African penguin

Summary: Another fantastic morning for our guests and crew! Although the water temperature dropped overnight, we experienced an adventurous and thrilling trip, encountering 4 of the Marine Big 5. Bronze whaler shark activity was phenomenal, with numerous individuals making an appearance. We also spent time with two well known short-tail stingrays, and a Cape fur seal was seen actively hunting around our dive site. On our return to the harbor, we hugged the beautiful coastline, which rewarded us with even more incredible marine sightings, three endangered humpback dolphins and one critically endangered African penguin. Thank you to everyone who joined us today!
